“The simple truth is I want to spend more time with my family and less time touring,” said Elton. “I am all too
aware of how precious the time ahead is. My sons are growing up so quickly. Their early years are just flying by
and I want to be there with them”.
Elton John’s band features Nigel Olsson (part of Elton’s original three-piece band) on drums, Davey Johnstone
(who first recorded with Elton in 1971 and joined the band a year later) on guitar, John Mahon on percussion,
Kim Bullard on keyboards and Matt Bissonette on bass.
One of the most successful artists on the road today, Elton and his band perform a concert you will never forget:
the entire audience singing along to much-loved classic songs such as “Your Song”, “Rocket Man”,
“Bennie and the Jets”, “Philadelphia Freedom”, “Crocodile Rock”, “Don’t Let the Sun Go Down on Me”, and many
more.
“We are extremely honoured to welcome Sir Elton John back to Budweiser Gardens for a third time” said Brian Ohl,
Regional Vice President, Spectra Venue Management and General Manager, Budweiser Gardens.
“The London community still raves about his performances in 2006 and 2014 and we look forward to another
‘Wonderful, Crazy Night’ this September.”
The monumental career of international singer/songwriter and performer Elton John spans five decades. He is one
of the top-selling solo artists of all time with 35 gold records and 25 platinum albums, 29 consecutive Top 40 hits,
